The Bridge. A scratch building.

Well here is the Bridge.
It took me a while. To be honest. Mainly because I have been too tired.
But I can now use this for nearly any Modern and Sci-fi Setting.

Steve Rogers being chased by an M3 Stuart. Both from Heroclix.
 The Bridge is made from a Poundland cork pinboard and its' frame of wood. I took the board apart. Discovered the Cork was a veneer. Not very thick! Backed by corrugated cardboard. I stuck the shorter ends of the frame onto the longer pieces of the frame. Then used Hornby bridge accessories I found for the Iron works. PC cable tidies I picked up from Wilko made good steel looking strengthening parts on each side. (The Square slightly jutting areas on the side of the bridge. You can see 2 of them below) I also used 4 more to raise the bridge slightly underneath.
 Gave it a spray with black mat and white mat paint. Black on the steel works and white on the wood work. Then just attacked it with a whallop brush!
A final sprinkle over some PVA down each side and the middle. Bridgey!!

A few more scifi refinery bits almost done.

A bit of an update. Just some painting to do.

 Steve Rogers Heroclix for Scale. Background some of my many Containers picked up from toy-fairs.
 Kinder, electrical components, Plastic car engines and yes a screw.

 Just to show that my Scratch built Bridge can fit almost anywhere. Hornby accessories, a pinboard from Poundland, toothpicks and cable tidies for super-structure hard points. Adventure 2000 Crusader from Matchbox chasing Steve.
Hope you like. I still have to mess about with some paint. But usable for now.

More add ons for techie pieces.

Even more bits I have been messing about with. Involving Kinder Eggs, Sprues, Electric Components and Vehicle parts. Plus Armymen style bunkers I got off Ebay.



 Don't ignore those cheapo plastic armymen bags! Sometimes they have very usable bits in them!




Again I have no idea what I have built here. It will be painted up and added in.
 Capacitors, old plastic engine from a car and a pen refill.
